St. Louis tractor-trailer accident lawyer discusses how truck accidents are unique
Sharing the road with tractor-trailers is a game of chance. These 60,000+ land locomotives can cause serious injury or fatalities when they are involved in collisions with passenger vehicles. A St. Louis tractor-trailer accident lawyer now shares the differences between a truck accident claim and a traditional car accident injury claim. Understanding these differences will assist the injury victim in getting maximum compensation from the insurance claims adjuster that will be doing his or her best at minimizing any compensation that is paid out.
First, semi-trucks, also called 18-wheelers, are required to operate in accordance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These "safety regulations" are in place to protect the general public from fatigued truck drivers, drunk truck drivers, and other dangerous truck drivers that can cause serious accidents. Truck drivers must be properly qualified to operate a tractor-trailer. These qualifications are both knowledge and fitness. Knowledge of driving a truck includes training over and above driving a tractor on the family farm. Training in the state that issued the CDL (Commercial Drivers License) is where the first line of defense starts.
Second, trucking companies are required to maintain safety standard that include log book auditing, ongoing safety training, random truck driver drug testing, and other policies that ensure the safety of the general public. One of the first things that a tractor-trailer accident attorney will do is subpoena all documents from the trucking company to ensure that these safety regulations were observed and obeyed.
Third, trucking companies are required to maintain at least $750,000 in insurance liability coverage to protect the general public in the event of a serious 18-wheeler accident. This type of coverage is increased in situations involving a St. Louis bus crash accident. These insurance coverage affects the ways that a tractor-trailer accident claim is handled, or "adjusted" by an insurance claims adjuster.
